Networking ULX-D Receivers
ULX-D Dual and Quad receivers feature a Dante dual-port network interface. Dante technology provides an integrated solution to distribute digital audio,
manage control signals, and carry Shure Control (WWB and AMX/Crestron) signals. Dante uses standard IP over Ethernet and safely coexists on the same
network as IT and control data. Selectable Dante networking modes route port signals for flexible network set up.
Network Control Software
The ULX-D receivers can be controlled by Shure Control (WWB6) for remote management and monitoring and the Dante Controller to manage digital audio
routing. Signals for AMX and Crestron controllers are carried on the same network as Shure Control.
Shure Control
Wireless Workbench 6 (WWB6) software provides comprehensive
control for wireless audio systems. Wireless Workbench enables live
remote adjustments to networked receivers for real-time changes to gain,
frequency, RF power, and control locks. A familiar channel strip interface
displays audio meters, transmitter parameters, frequency settings and
network status.
Wireless Workbench 6 is available for Windows or Mac and can be
downloaded at: www.shure.com/wwb
IP Address Configuration
An IP address must be assigned to each device in the network to ensure communication and control between components. Valid IP addresses can assigned
automatically using a DHCP server or manually from a list of valid IP addresses. If using Dante audio, a separate Dante IP address must also be assigned to
the receiver.
Automatic IP Addressing
1. If using a DHCP capable Ethernet switch, set the DHCP switch to ON.
2. Set the IP Mode to Automatic for all receivers:

Dante
The Dante controller is a free software program created by Audinate™
to configure and manage a network of Dante enabled devices. Use the
controller to create audio routes between networked components and to
monitor the status of online devices.
